We would like to draw your attention to an association called the Seapoint Swimmers (SS), claiming to represent ‘the interest of the swimmers and users of Seapoint swimming facility’, who have put in a proposal in March to the council to make Seapoint, Salthill and Sandycove beaches completely dog free all year round.
Dogs Unleashed, on the other hand, propose that these beaches be dealt with as follows:
- Dogs on a leash at all times within the designated bathing area at Seapoint beach
- Dogs off-leash and under effective control at all times beyond any designated bathing area, (including the adjacent Salthill beach)
- Dogs on leash, within the designated bathing area of Sandycove and Killiney beaches for the summer holiday/lifeguard patrol season only
If the council decide to support the Seapoint Swimmers it will be very difficult in the future to get this ruling reversed. If this is something you feel strongly about we again ask you to write to your councillors stating that Seapoint Swimmers do not represent your views, as our elected representatives you call on them to take your view into account and request that they liaise with Dogs Unleashed to find an amicable outcome that will include all users of the beaches at all times of the year.
